This isn’t the first time the N97 mini has been treated to the limited edition way of life, though. In fact, if we were going off limited edition versions, the N97 mini would be a pretty big hit. Of course, it still has that whole “N97″ moniker, which we’re sure is bringing some people down all over the world. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a better phone than its big brother, but still, sometimes those shadows extend pretty far.

Unfortunately, from what we can tell, there’s not much changed on this version of the mini. Yes, there is a laser-etched symbol on the back of the phone, and it does have a great gun metal finish to it, but we’re thinking that’s not enough. After all, the RAOUL version was pretty intense. There’s a few goodies in the box, though. Like some Team Oakley stuff. Other than that, not much. But, if you’re a fan of Oakley (or Nokia), and want a phone that stands out above the rest, then this is a great way to make that happen. Start scouring those online auction sites, ladies and gentlemen, these are bound to go quick.
